apologize for not being clear... The FAA license is recognized but converting from FAA license is more tedious since it requires taking all the exams and the flight test again. As far as I know, the flight test is not required for conversion from New Zealand license to Indian license ( or from any other commonwealth country, for that matter)..
Cheers
again Jai you are talking nonsense.
Any licence from an ICAO contracting state to convert to Indian DGCA equivalent requires flight tests and exams.They are all equally tedious as you are up against bureaucracy and red tape courtesy of the officials at DGCA hence more paperwork required.
Now When it comes to a common wealth country's RT(radio telephony licence) one need not to give any tests or anything of that sort for converting into to Indian RT.It only involves only paperwork.
Jai take my advice stop embarassing urself by posting info based on half baked knowledge.
Make sure u are posting something credible not any bed time stories or half baked knowledge(no offence intended).
cheers.
